The chief executive of Water Service (Mrs. Katharine Bryan) has been asked to write to the hon. Gentleman in response to this question.Letter from Katharine Bryan, dated 19 December 2005:"You recently asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland a Parliamentary Question about how many water connections to consumers in Northern Ireland are metered and how many of these connections also serve a domestic pipeline (38560). I have been asked to reply as this issue falls within my responsibility as Chief Executive of Water Service.""Water Service's current policy is to fit water meters to properties which are not used exclusively for domestic purposes. These include industrial, commercial, agricultural, public buildings and dwelling houses, which are also used for business purposes. 73,650 properties are currently metered.""50,181 of these properties currently attract the free domestic allowance of 200 cubic metres per annum, since they are deemed to include an element of domestic usage. Our metering records do not at present identify how many of these are dwelling houses."

The Government expects any water company proposing a major new water resources development, such as a reservoir, to have fully investigated the opportunities for enhanced levels of demand management. Enhanced levels of metering is one of the measures that should be considered.The legislation governing application for designation as an Area of Water Scarcity are The Water Industry (Prescribed Conditions) Regulations 1999. Under this legislation when determining an application the Secretary of State must have regard to, among other considerations, the water resources which are or could be made available for meeting demand in an area over the period-of 10 years following an application. This would include reservoir capacity.One of the projects the recently formed Water Saving Group will be doing is to encourage companies to better use the current powers they have for promoting metering and develop and take forward options for increasing the particular circumstances in which companies have the discretion to meter, particularly in water stressed areas. The Group will also consider the lessons learnt from a review of the current application for area of water scarcity status and encourage further applications for area of water scarcity status in water stressed areas as well as looking at ways of simplifying the application process.

My officials, working closely with Ofgem and Defra, are currently assessing the market framework for metering in the UK. Ofgem are currently undertaking an analysis of the costs/benefits of different kinds of innovative metering options, focusing on what evidence there is to support possible benefits and looking at what lessons can be learned from international experience in markets such as Italy and California. Their analysis will be completed by the end of the year.

That this House notes that recent substantial rises in energy prices are condemning more people to fuel poverty; fears that if, the Meteorological Office forecasts for a severe winter are correct, many will suffer even more through being unable properly to heat their homes; further notes that pre-payment meters are the most expensive means of buying energy and that those who use them are effectively paying a premium, that those who use such meters are predominately those on lower incomes, that it is much more difficult for those on such meters to switch suppliers to obtain discounts and that in any event many would be unable to benefit from switching; believes that it is unacceptable that the poorest in society should be paying the most for energy; and calls upon the Government to take urgent action to ensure that the cost of energy through pre-payment meters is reduced.

This is a matter that concerns me but it is not an easy one. The question is whether those choices should be allowed to the customer; I think they should. There are difficulties with pre-payment meters such as the extra costs, which I acknowledge. I worry about that too, but the alternative might be more disconnections and there are many evils associated with that. The matter is difficult and we need to approach it in a balanced way.

As the Minister has made clear, more than 5 million people pay for their gas or electricity with pre-payment meters, despite being some of the poorest people in the community. In March, the Public Accounts Committee found that on average they were paying a premium to the companies of £60 a year. That is unacceptable. What actions have the Government taken since our report was published to rectify the situation and how much has the premium reduced since that time?

There is some switching between suppliers for people on pre-payment meters, but I acknowledge that that occurs at a lower rate than for other customers. Will I look at the matter again? Yes I will, because it is a serious concern. We want people on low incomes to be able to enjoy the kind of facilities that we all enjoy. It is true that in this case the poor pay more due to the charging structure. I will look at it again.

When asked about fuel poverty Ministers often make the point that consumers should consider switching suppliers, but that is difficult for people on pre-payment meters, which must be one of the few examples where people are penalised by paying cash in advance. Will the Minister look again at the matter to see if there is any way that the electricity and gas companies can be forced to give a better deal to those who have to pay through pre-payment meters? Most people do so because they have no alternative but to use such meters.

As I said, this is a difficult issue because if people were in different systems and there were rising numbers of disconnections, the House would properly be concerned, as some of us have been in the past. We need to enable more customers to be given the information to make proper choices, including the choice of switching back to the type of payment methods that many of us enjoy. In that sense, the launch of the industry home heat helpline on Monday is important, as it means that a customer, or someone concerned about their welfare, can phone up for advice on those issues.

One obvious problem with pre-payment cards, as well as disconnections which the Minister has just mentioned, is that if the card is not charged no fuel is supplied. A quarter or more pre-payment users self-disconnect in that way every year and a much higher proportion of them are gas users, which reflects the lower income profile of people forced into that position. Will the Minister tell us what he intends to do to tackle that problem?

In July 2005, following a complaint by Energywatch under the Enterprise Act 2002, Ofgem conducted an investigation into the billing practices of gas and electricity suppliers. It made a number of recommendations, designed to take effect in July 2006. There is no reason why those recommendations, or the measures taken to implement them, should materially change the number of customers using pre-payment meters. Indeed, there are 3.6 million electricity and 2.1 million gas pre-payment meter customers.

It's a funny old week, isn't it?
Clearly, pre-payment meters involve capital expenditure. If there was no price differential, other customers, including many low-income people and many pensioners, would have to subsidise those on pre-payment meters. These are difficult issues. I am not relaxed about the fact that so many low-income families have different payment methods from the mainstream of society. I repeat that there is no easy solution, but I have told the hon. Member for Angus (Mr. Weir) that I will reconsider the issue.

The short answer is yes. I am very interested in the concept of smart metering, particularly if it could tell householders how much CO2their dwellings are emitting and, with micro-generation in the dwelling, they could see the savings that they are making. I understand that there has been a roll-out of smart metering in Italy, so the European experience can be considered. We are discussing that option with Ofgem. The investment required would be expensive, but to repeat my short answer, yes, it is worth considering that option.

Would the Minister be prepared to consider looking again at the regulation of the energy market to encourage the installation of smarter, more high-tech meters across the board? The advantage is that the consequences of consumers' energy choices would be much more visible to them. With that visibility, we could encourage and enhance energy efficiency among consumers because they would instantly see the energy consequences of the appliances that they choose to use in the home.
